Education Fund

The Ohio Citizen Action Education Fund is the non-profit education and research affiliate of Ohio Citizen Action. The president of the Ohio Citizen Action Education Fund is Dr. Richard Wittberg. The executive director is Melissa English. Founded in 1975, the Ohio Citizen Action Education Fund works in communities across Ohio to protect public health and the environment.

The Education Fund provides research and community organizing support for “good neighbor campaigns” in Ohio, where neighbors of polluting facilities have been able to win changes far beyond what environmental laws or regulations might require.

The Education Fund is also known for tracking and analyzing the flow of campaign dollars to key decision-makers in the state government.
